Can you cut deep enough for NFA engraving?

how deep ? this engraving in the pics is maybe a .32 it wont cut metal out it will take powder coating off or down a layer. you cant rub these off.

"The engraving or stamping (impressing) of the serial number must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch and in a print size no smaller than 1/16 inch. This is important when you are selecting an engraver for your NFA markings – many decorative engravers will not meet the BATFE depth requirement."

Get some skin-on pork and give a whirl, then cook it up for a no-waste experiment.

As for the engraving, how does it handle curves in the surface? Does it not work at all once the depth changes, or does it compress/elongate the image depending on the contour?

Edit to add: I can see in the images of the mag-extension that it prints over those ridges, so I guess a curved piece would look "correct" from straight on and maybe "stretched" slightly from the side?

 

[Offshorelivein]

Ways around curves and depths changes metal doesn't change the depth of engraving not as much as wood.
